There's a problem with this CV: the publications are not numbered.<p>That's not just a nitpick. It's important. CVs grow to many pages of publications and when you apply for a job people <i>will</i> refer to your publication by number when discussing your CV with one another.<p>I do publication numbering like this:<p><pre><code> \usepackage{bibentry}
%% cventry facility. Use \begin{cventries} and \end{cventries},
%% and in between you do \cventry[note]{bibkey}.
%% Numbering will go across cventry values
\newcommand\cventry[2][]{\item\bibentry{#2}. {\bf #1}}
\newcounter{cventryg}
\setcounter{cventryg}{0}
\newenvironment{cventries}{%
\begin{enumerate}%
\setcounter{enumi}{\the\value{cventryg}}}{%
\setcounter{cventryg}{\the\value{enumi}}%
\end{enumerate}}</code></pre>

<a href="https://raw.github.com/afriggeri/cv/master/cv.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://raw.github.com/afriggeri/cv/master/cv.pdf</a><p>Thanks for sharing.<p>I wonder how it would look if the name and title in the header were left aligned with the left side of the primary column content column? My eye kinda wants it that way.
Very pretty. If I had a criticism, it would be that the application of colour to the first three letters of headings seems random and a little annoying (e.g. INTerests, EDUcation and -- especially -- ONLine).
Since when is black-and-white "ugly"? What if the person looking at it first prints it on paper and then reads it offline? If I were ever to make a color CV, I'd make sure that it looks ok printed on a laser, BW printer. Or I'd make another version for BW only.
Designer here. I'd add more leading (line-spacing). More spacing between sections, too. It needs to breathe.<p>I'd drop the exclusive use of grey and use black for the body text, at least. Grey might look nice on your screen because it's very bright, but not everyone's is, and when printed, can look washed out and like a mistake. Contrast in body text is good.
If would be great if there was a small comparison with the standard packages (currvita, moderncv). What's similar? What's different? Why writing an own package instead of building upon the existing ones? Just for fun, or are there technical or organizatorial reasons?
Here's my resume: <a href="http://www.ideaember.com/resume" rel="nofollow">http://www.ideaember.com/resume</a><p>It's important to stick to the constraints of the medium. Lots of whitespace and visuals for online and one page for print. Also important to stay consistent with the rest of the site. Still looking for a clever way to integrate my portfolio directly into the resume without making the resume too cluttered.<p>P.S. In the market for a product management opportunity
Since we're all sharing our LaTex resumes:<p><a href="http://www.jedberg.net/hire_jeremy_edberg.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.jedberg.net/hire_jeremy_edberg.html</a><p>My resume and source code are both on there.
Very nice, I like the phrasing of: "Since 2009" instead of 2009 to present, and the fb://username instead of long URL.<p>Mine is on GitHub as well, though in the form of a web service serving JSON objects instead of XeTeX.<p><a href="https://github.com/kurtsiegfried/Resume-Web-Service" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kurtsiegfried/Resume-Web-Service</a>
It looks from other comments that CVs are slightly different than resumes (I really had no idea, I just thought "resume" was a wording preference in the US), but I'll question your mention of your high school and "classes prépa"… M.Sc. from ENS Lyon >>> whatever high school/prep school you went to.<p>I have recently revamped my resume with one goal of removing unnecessary or irrelevant information. E.g. I removed my street address (why would companies need that before a job offer? Not sure, but it's a custom). Granted I then went overboard design-wise and probably added a lot of graphically irrelevant things. :)<p>That being said, yours looks great.
Has anyone managed to compile this on Windows (with MikTeX)? I tried but gave up after the great error:<p><pre><code> xelatex.exe: The operation failed for some reason.</code></pre>
The readability can be improved a lot:
* The grey text has very low contrast.
* The color coding seems arbitrary
* I would indicate links use a blue text, and remove the turquoise box.<p>You don't want the CV to take the reader's attention from the content and answering the question - "do I want to hire this person?"
For the header: don't you feel it's somewhat awkward when the background shows where printable surface ends? Or is it possible, to find a printer that can print up to the border of the page?
Hey,
Liked the template, has a unique design while keeping all the relevant information in the right places. Thanks.
Reading on your work, you have developed some interesting stuff.
Thanks for this!<p>Here's my resume using this template. With the PDF and LaTeX source-code. '<a href="https://github.com/jjuliano/resume" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jjuliano/resume</a>
